#MECstaffer Pierre has more than two decades of experience navigating the backcountry on skis, so we’re taking his word for it. Training, terrain awareness, and understanding conditions matter just as much as the gear you carry. That’s why we’re stoked to bring back our ❄️Know the Snow❄️ event in partnership with @avalanchecanada and @mammutna.
